    A season of musicals coming up in the Screen:

    Singin’ in the Rain (1952)
    Dir: Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly
    Starring: Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor
    Originally conceived as a way of using leftover songs from other MGM musicals, Singin’ in the Rain’s postmodern look at the changeover from silent film to “talkies” soon transcended its banal roots and became a favourite of critics and audiences alike. Gene Kelly’s “Singin’ in the Rain” sequence and Donald O’Connor’s “Make Em Laugh” are still considered some of cinema’s finest song n’ dance routines. This film is also notable for Jean Hagan’s outrageously funny turn as diva Lina Lamont.
    Tuesday 17th November 6.30pm

    Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)
    Dir: Howard Hawks
    Starring: Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell
    These “Two Little Girls From Little Rock” certainly know how to turn the temperature up to 11 as Marilyn and Jane sing and dance their way through a transatlantic cruise in eye-popping costumes! The pairing of these two perfectly contrasting sexpots is remarkable. This movie sizzles with glamour, decadence and beauty. Famous for its “Diamond Are a Girl’s Best Friend” sequence, this is a film that shows Marilyn on the brink of superstardom and clearly illustrates what put here there; perfect comic timing, oodles of charm and a very special beauty that jumps right off the screen.
    November 24th

    Oklahoma (1955)
    Dir: Fred Zinneman
    Starring: Shirley Jones, Gordon McCrae, Gloria Grahame, Rod Steiger
    Oklahoma is a story set over the course of one day in a time where farmers and cowboys could not be friends and the last thing on a travelling peddlar’s mind was marriage! Perhaps one of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s more frivolous works, Oklahoma nevertheless showcases their songwriting genius with some of their most accomplished songs. With fun and energy, bursting from every frame, and classic songs such as “Oh! What a Beautiful Morning”, “I’m Just a Girl Who Cain’t Say No” and “People Will Say We’re In Love”, this is certainly one to catch on the big screen.
    December 1st

    The Wizard of Oz (1939)
    Dir: Victor Fleming
    Starring: Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Frank Morgan, Munchkins!
    One of the world’s most adored films, still delighting and terrifying audiences the world over after seventy years. This visual and aural masterpiece and its incredible Technicolour palette has hardly dated at all in that time. Digitally remastered, Dorothy’s trip down the yellow brick road has never looked so opulent.
    December 8th

    An American in Paris (1951)
    Dir: Vincente Minnelli
    Starring: Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron
    This Gershwin-penned musical features some of Gene Kelly’s strongest dance work. Here, Minnelli shows his penchant for visual decadence and Kelly shows what it means to be a true star! Numbers such as “I Got Rhythm” and “’S’Wonderful” are still classics and will have you swinging all the way home.
    December 15th

    Meet Me in St Louis (1944)
    Dir: Vincente Minnelli
    Starring: Judy Garland, Mary Astor
    Right slap-bang in the middle of World War II, Minnelli made this beautiful valentine to the talent and beauty of his new wife Judy Garland. Meet Me in St.Louis may be syrupy and sappy to some, but it is a beautiful and electric celebration of youth, beauty and family to others. A disappointed family learn they must leave their family home as their father is relocated, especially to the chagrin of Esther (Garland) who has fallen in love with the boy next door. Culminating in a festive happy ending, and Judy’s heartbreaking rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, this film is sure to warm the cockles of anybody’s heart.

    Thanks for the post.

    Singin In The Rain is one of my favourite films of all time. I remember watchin reluctantly in my early 20's and then just getting absorbed by it. Fantastic movie and I won't miss the chance to see it on the Big Screen.

    Only down side is that The Screen volume is pathetic.

    This past few weeks I have seen The Lost Boys, The Mist, The Shining, The Great Escape and Child's Play and they were all so low a volume that eating popcorn was impossible.

    One girl actually commented as much to me as she tried to eat hers and smiled. I went out and complained to staff and they did turn it up a smidgen but no where near enough.

    Was never at it. It's just a pub really (The Ivy House) so haven't a clue.

    Going to The Sugar Club for the first time this week also to see 'Dawn Of The Dead' but from the website it looks like a cool little place to see a film.

    The sound quality for Dawn of the Dead in the Sugar Club wasn't great the other night, was it?

    The Screen are also showing it on December 8th as per Monkeyfudge's post. I'll defo go as it's years since I seen it so it should be a good watch all over again :)

    I'll do a special post for it once the dates and times are confirmed.
